5. 30mm f/1.4 cropped to an 8x10 you can see the vignette from the aps-c lens
30mm @ ISO 6400 f/2 1/40s helped with someone else's flash

6. 30mm with no crop at all so you see the full effect of the aps-c lens on the full frame
30mm @ ISO 6400 f/2 1/40s

7. 85mm ISO 6400 f/2 1/100s

8. i'll round it off at 8
85mm @ ISO 6400 f/2 1/100s

as far as the 5d II is concerned, IMO it has to be the best wedding camera out there. the ISO 6400 capabilities are AMAZING! i didn't even try the 12,800 or 25,600. the autofocus is fine, definitely slower than my 40d, but not as bad as i'd expected from what people said. i'd say it's comparable to my 30d's autofocus..and i never had a problem with that. once it locks it's dead on. it fits great in my hand. the lcd is far better than anything i ever expected to see in a camera. on my 30d and 40d zoomed in all pictures look soft, on the 5d II you can definitely tell if they're sharp or not. other than that, everything else is just bonus.

Very nice! have you noticed any banding issues? Have you tried the video yet?.... that's a good lookn' bride....

no banding issue that i've noticed

yea she's really pretty. i also have some bridals of her i need to post.

i tried the video the day i got it, but haven't felt like processing it or even know the first thing to do with it. do you know if any sites will let you post it straight out of the camera? i suppose i could try premiere pro. i used to know what i was doing in that program.

From what I understand Finalcut pro on the Mac does it perfectly fine. It has to do with the way that the h.264 codec handling by Quicktime for Windows lacks hardware acceleration and multi-core processing while the Mac OS version of Quicktime is not crippled.
